Chris in VA Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I'm so excited she's doing this, and I figure it's some sort of history for adults, which can be used for high school (!), but has she said, yet, what the topic will be? I feel like some crazed fan or something. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIch elle Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I love The Teaching Company and have told them they are missing the homeschool market by not putting out more courses that could be used by homeschoolers. :bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebecca VA Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Their offices are right around the corner from the convention center where the NOVA conference will be held in July. I know this because I used to pass by there every day when I'd take my son to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like some crazed fan or something. :D If it will be a course using Dr. Bauer's adult history books, you might want to look at them first to see if you like them. I ordered both recently, and sent them right back after examining them. No need to elaborate about why, for my point is just to look at a text before committing to use. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outtamyshell Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You sound like a crazed fan because you ARE a crazed fan. I can't wait to see what it is... I might be buying my first Teaching Company program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConnieB Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 They only BAD thing about this.....is that it's likely to be MONTHS before it's available. Sometimes I like being in the dark, lol. We know one of the professors that have done a lecture for Teaching Company....and between the filming/recording/editing/production it was more than 6 months between the date of the recording and the release. Like her books that we wait for with baited breath and turn blue waiting for them to be released. Anticipation....anticipation...it's making me wait (oh sorry, that ketchup isn't it?)

JudoMom Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 You are write. We need to list ideas write now and don't write obvious suggestions. :lol: Maybe we should look back into ancient history and take note of what homeschoolers would like in a TC course...

Chris in VA Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 In all seriousness... I wonder what "gaps" there are in TC that they've asked SWB to fill...hmmm...

Mothersweets Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I thought I saw some info on this on her blog a month or two ago? Hmmm, I would love to say what it is but since SWB posted on this thread and didn't say what she is doing then I don't want to be the blabber mouth and get into trouble! :) eta- I am definitely ordering the course when it comes out!!!
